Mapster App Reviews

I needed a simple iPhone app that would download a map of a trail that I was lookong forward to hiking, see my position with respect to the trail and be able to do it without a data connection. Mapster does exactly that.

You can tell were you are even without Internet, witch is great if your lost and dont have service

This app is just what it says it is. It provides a better traditional map experience than Google maps in many ways. It is just a clear map with extraordinary detail. So far, I have found it to be accurate. In fact, in a new subdivision, Mapster has the actual, current and correct street names whereas Google has the old proposed street names! Its a really well thought out app with a built in user manual that gives lots of good background, how to contribute, and a lot of interesting detail in how it is put together and works. When paired with a GPS receiver, the tracking is smooth, quick and responsive. It updates position frequently. The tracking with this map is much quicker and smoother than any other GPS nav app or system I have used. The only complaint I have is that at the highest level of detail the text is hard to read. You can zoom in and out to read it but it would be nice if that could be made a little more readable without doing that. I highly recommend this app, either by itself or with a GPS receiver. Ive been using it on an iPad Mini with Retina.

This is an awesome topographic map app! I wish I could give it 10 stars!

Not a true topo map. More of a street map with topo markings. No trails, no smaller bodies of water and no better than mapquest. Plus they have a stupid tile system you have to purchase to keep using it. Absolute garbage.
